That was cowardly effort made by
the authorities of Hamilton, Ontario, to
convince the public that Editor O'Brien
began the shooting which made him the
target of the Hamilton mob. They are
unable to maintain their assertion, Tor
the reason that it is not true and the
assault assumes still moro cowRrdly
aspect. Mr.. O'Brien is demonstrating
the right OF free speech in the camp of
the enemies of the cause of Ireland and
is exhibiting a courage deserving some
more ennobling response than the ragged
front OF an unreasoning mob. He will
succeed ID carrying the gospel into
Canada and the opposition will have
nothing but the humiliation of failure
alter all its despioable efforts.

CARING FOR THE POOR.
They Are Being Remembered With
Christmas Presents.
RELIEF SOCIETY EFFORTS.
Bundles of ALI Sorts for Distribution.
The kindergarten Children's
Dinner.

2 In the midst of the bustling prepare
lions for Christmas the poor are not for
gotten and are not obliged to stand on
frosty curbs and watch the confusion,
the gay shop windows and merry max
ing with wistful, longing eye. They
have the satisfaction of knowing that
though it may be eaten on a more
humble board, though it be not served
by Starchy walters and unattended by
elegance, their Christmas dinner will
taste as sweet as that of the wealthieSt
man in town.
A GLOBE reporter called at the Relief
society building yesterday and here and
there, all over the walls and on the floor,
were fat turkeys, huge sides of meat,
etc, all labeled for the unfortunate
poor. Besides this, Mr.. Hall said that
great many people, both ladies and gen.
tlemen, had sent in to the society
worthy poor and that all would
be handsomely cared for. On the tables
were pretty colored books. blocks and
other things to delight the little ones
who are used to observing Christmas
about cold and cherries stove, and
with cracker or two for their dinner.
Mr.. Hall forgets his own needs and
Christmas preparations in his zeal to see
that his prOteges receive proper atten-
ton and spend at least one happy day
in the year. Mr.. Hutchins still travels
about, Increasing the number of his
trips and visits in order that none may
be overlooked. The kind ladies and
misses of the various churches and soci-
cites are not behind, but are aiding in
the work of preparing a Christmas for
the poor. The little ones can subsist a
whole year on little or nothing, but
ence heaves in sight. they want some
thing and are bound to have it.

warerooms on East Third street last
evening. The large audience room was
filed to overlooking with critical and
music-loving assemblage, and an excel
lent programme was given by the

and seven bassos, and these,
assisted by Mrs. w. H. Eddy, Mrs. f. l..
Zeis, Miss Helen Murray, Miss Ella
Morris and Messrs. ID. f. COlville and G.
e. TitcOmb, the pianist, rendered some
delightful selections. The Bridal
Chorus by the Amphion club was skill
fully rendered, as was also the song
Break, Break, Breakl" This last was
given by Messrs. De Wolf, WillOughby
and COlville. The chorus Home
wards" rendered by female voices
only, was very sweet, and in marked
contrast to the chorus. The Long Day
Closes" by male voices alone. But the
Autumn Song" by female trio, COM
posed of Mrs. De Wolf, Mrs. Yale and
Miss Burtis, was one of the prettiest
things given. The rehearsal closed
with the chorus, Cradle Song" which
was rendered by the entire society.

Because Mon Lee Would Not
Make a Cut-Rate on Washing
He Got a Bullet in His Leg.
The laundry of Mon Lee, a Chinaman,
is located in a One-story frame shanty
on the corner of Sixth and Market
streets. Mon Lee is all aged MOngOlian,
but, with the help of a younger man
from his own country, does good deal
of work for any body who comes along
with money to pay for it. Mon Lee has
a fixed scale OF rates and will not take
less than the list price. A strange young
man has been bringing him washing
for four weeks past, and has called reg
ularly for It every Friday night. This
week the strange young man 5
wash consisted of one blue-Striped
flannel shirt and suspenS0ry.
1T came to Is cents. The
Young man called at O'Clock last night
TO get it and offered 10 cents. Mon Lee
refused to take less than 10 cents. They
ouarreled for some time and finally
came together, and Mon Lee succeeded
in putting the white man out. AS the
man went out the door he cried: "Hll
be back here before long and make you
pay for this, you almoned-eyed oil
a =" Mon Lee went back to his
work and thought no more of the
matter. Fifteen minutes later he
was startled by the door opening, and
looked up TO see the strange young
man with a revolver leveled at him
through the opening. Before Mon Lee
could speak the fellow fired and fled.
The bali struck Mon Lee in the eft leg,
about four inches below the hip, and
plowed its way for three inches through
the fieshy part of the leg: but did not
make dangerous wound. The would
be assassin was followed for a short way
down st. Peter street, by Mon Lees as
sistant but escaped. He was smooth
faced young man, of medium height
and slender build and well dressed.

HE FAVORs GRESHAM.

A Brother of SeuatOr SpOOner, of
Wisconsin, Believes Him the
Strongest Republican of the
Day.
"While personally would prefer to
see James G. Blaine in the White
house," said Roger c. Spooner, of Madi-
son, Wis, and brother of the senator
from that state, 'sfYll do not think it
would be polite to nominate him again,
as he is certain to be beaten.
A ticket that would be strong in two of
the doubtful states and stand good
chance of success, would be Judge
Gresham, of Indiana, for president, and
Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, for the
whom not a word could be uttered,
and they would unite all factions
of the Republican party. While at
Washington and New York recently
talked with number of leading pOliti-
clans and business men and l found
them all favorably disposed towards
the ticket that have men,
toned. Another name was also
suggested for the second place, that of
Hon. Nathan Golf, of West Virginia, it
being claimed that with protection and
free trade as the issues in the next cam
paign there would at least be fighting
chance for West Virginia, owing to its
prOtectiOniSt tendency. All talk of a
Lincoln boom seems to have been
dissipated by the result of the
New York election, and there will be
no more heard of the son of his father in
the Republican nominating convention.
But everywhere the sentiment is grow
ing In favor of Judge Gresham, who is
to-day the strongest man in his party.

publican committee, at my home, |
have heard a great deal recently about
Gresham, and our people would support

Railway Commissioners and OFF,
Gals Sparring Over the Order to

Railway Commissioners and Om-
ciaIs Sparring Over the Order to
Reduce the Milk Rates.
Have the railroad commissioners any
power, and is the railroad law under
which they hold Office valid and cOnsti-
tutional? These are the questions the
commissioners have determined shall be
answered once for all by the supreme
court i'm the famous milk transportation
cases which came up last summer from
Pennington, Mortified, UwatOnna and
Faribault. The rate charged by the
company from those places to st. Paul
and Minneapolis was about cents
per gallon, which rate, the COM
missiOners decided after several
hearings, to be eXOrbitant, and
therefore reduction to 219 cents per
gallon was ordered by the railroad COM
missiOners. This rate has been opposed
by the Milwaukee ever since, and on
the 9th inst. the commissioners applied
to the supreme court for writ OF man
damus to compel them to show cause
why the rates should not be reduced.

torney Norris, of Minneapolis, the at
torney for the railroad, and the attorney
general and MeSsrS. Burlingame. OF
Owatonna, and KeYeS, of Faribault,
who appeared for the state, the case

A CHRISTMAS DINNER.
Children of the Free Kinder
garten Had Their Turkey Yes


garten Had Their Turkey Yes
terday.
A pretty scene was witnessed yester-
day afternoon in the upper story of the
Relief society's building on Ninth
street. Seated about long low table,
prettily decorated, were between thirty
and forty mites of humanity, the chill
dren of poor people, busily engaged in
devouring their Christmas dinner of
turkey, etc. These compose the
kindergarten school, and many of
the pretty little things distributed
were the work of the children them
selves. At the conclusion of the meal
the ladies loaded each child with books
and other presents, while each one also
carried away a sack of candy taken
from the bOughs of a large Christmas
tree standing in the center of the room.
A happier lot it would be difficult to
imagine, and their dignified and perfect
manners, results of the training of the
school. made the occasion all the pref
tier. Many of their fathers and moth
ers had the pleasure of seeing their chill
dren enjoy themselves. They deserved
it. and in the language of one youth !:
"Well, we bin workin' fer this fer a
whole year."
